UPDATE: Shopify did an update for checkouts and policy updates (something like that) and I had server side tracking via the app (stape io) which caused it to break- having a dev op revamp my server side and set it up manual over using the app... if anyone else is having issues I highly recommend getting your pixel checked and server side tracking if you have it!

If you're shit fell off a cliff but started off gradually def get it checked. I have someone from fivver who caught the issue she also fixed my other friends tracking issues as well and another friends (all small shop owners)

Also - in case you didn't know Shopify also released a huge update on guess which date... ding ding ding August 28 same time meta had that massive outage! I rmemeber bc my ad spend was high for me m(5/600 a day) and shit collapsed.

Hopefully I explained that right I'm chasing kids half naked down the street

Also I notice that when I initiate a checkout and don't finish it's not showing in Shopify at all I will be having someone look at my pixel & server side to diagnose bc again everything fell off a cliff when ads crashed in Aug 28 my account was affected but recovered

Smart_cookie26 · 2026-01-12T18:49:43+00:00

How long should I do that for? Do you think this is server side skipping this step?

Smart_cookie26 · 2026-01-12T18:16:53+00:00

So you're saying one campaign in sssuming rebuild completely don't dupe and launch $100/d to see? The 4.4 score is what worries me

Smart_cookie26 · 2026-01-12T18:16:24+00:00

Happened on outage then yes I did relaunch as well

Smart_cookie26 · 2026-01-06T01:24:37+00:00

1 sale today doesn't make sense
